You couldn't make this stuff up......
So , those two girls arrested in Ghana as they were found at the airport with a few hundred grand worth of Cocaine....this is what they have to say (quoted from BBC site) about it
Ghanaian authorities were said to have found the drugs in laptop bags carried by the girls. Two Ghanaian men apparently paid for the teenagers' accommodation in Accra. The girls have told police the men gave them the laptop bags. Yasemin told Channel 4 News on Thursday night they were tricked into carrying drugs to London. Speaking by telephone from prison in Accra, she said: "There were basically two boys over here who gave us two bags and told us... it was an empty bag. "We never thought anything bad was inside... and they told us to go to the UK and drop it off to some boy... at the airport." "It was basically like a set-up. They didn't tell us nothing, we didn't think nothing, because basically we are innocent. "We don't know nothing about this drugs and stuff." Is anyone that stupid? No. No one is these days. Think they need to come up with something a bit better than that! Silly, silly girls :nono: |
Agree. Take the risk, take the consequence
|
Serves the bellends right.
Prison in Accra, hmm bet that's nice. :lol1: Andy |
10 years - bye, bye, - throw away the key
Jobs a good 'un |
their mum thought they were on a school holiday to france.....
|
It also does not mention the payment of £3,000 for carrying the said 'empty bags'.
Very, very, very stupid and their story absolutely does not stack up! |
"We don't know nothing about this drugs and stuff." |
Daft, daft lassies !
|
Even if (however unlikely) they are/were completely innocent.. If nothing else it spares the gene pool of additional stupidity for a good while! :thumb:
|
Agreed, if you cant do the time, dont do the crime :lol1:
*Runs off to hide 10 laptop bags* :Suspiciou |
On the news lawyers were saying that they should have been allowed to arrive in the UK, and then been arrested......
So, we pay for their trial, pay for them to be locked up and then pay for their eventual rehabilitation? Even though the crime was committed in Ghana.. |
No sympathy from me.
They lied to their parents about being on a school trip, flew to Ghana and apparently got put up by the guys that gave them the drugs. Did they not think to look in the bags? Mind numbingly stupid/risky. A fool and their freedom are soon parted... Furthermore, if they were fully aware of what they were doing, they'd say exactly the same as someone who didn't know what they are doing. Here's hoping the Ghanaian courts throw the book at them. Drug smuggling is unforgivable IMO. |
Stupid thing is, if they made it here they probably still would have been let off :rolleyes:
Evening all :D |
They must have known what was going on, I mean why did they fly out there in the first place, they must have had somewhere to stay planned before they even left the UK. :cuckoo:
Cracks me up about them and the family wanting a "fair" trial, that's the last thing they need IMO. :lol1: |
LMAO £3000 for carrying 2x empty laptop bags... deffo nothing remotely dodgy about that!
|
I can just imagine the day in court
Judge : "Does the council for defence have anything further to say?" Defence : "It was basically like a set up. They didn't tell us nothing, we didn't think nothing, because basically we are innocent. We don't know nothing about this drugs and stuff, we don't know nothing." http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/200...rd_228x337.jpg Love the double negative, "We dont know nothing" = must know something :lol1: :lol1: |
They spelt "nothing" incorrektly. It should read "naffffink"
Stupid bints |
When I heard yesterday that their lawyers were contesting the fact that the poor dears were arrested abroad and not here, and complaining that the girls were far away from their families etc. All I could think of was 'tough sh1t'.
|
Same from me - Feck all sympathy - Hang 'em out to dry.
Why should I pay MORE tax to get them out of the situation they walked into willingly. Fook em - 20 years in a Ghanain jail cell is just what they need - keeps them off the dole in the UK.:hjtwofing |
Very stupid business to get into. They surely would have known what they were doing and they will deserve the punishment they get for it.
Les |
Its kept 3O0k of sh1t off the streets too.
Top job by Ghanian police:notworthy . Silly silly silly liitle girls.:nono: |
Can't disagree with anything posted, BUT:
Anyone care to put much money on them receiving a long sentence? And if they DO get sent down, anyone care to guess how long before the great British public is clamouring, (with the help of the great British Red-Top Media, of course), for them to do the time in the UK, then for their release because, "they had it so bad over there, poor things."?

10 years in a ****ty prison being hated by the local criminals and ridden senceless by 'de big boss guard' and his mates - NICE! edited due to some saddo complaining about swear fliter abuse I'd be that 'saddo'. Let me tell you what's 'sad'. Someone who is a moderator blatantly contravening the T&Cs of the Forum Some blatant and obvious swear words are automatically filtered on scoobynet. We appreciate that the majority of scoobynet readers are adults, and almost all of us would be happy to use many of these words in general conversation, but the internet poses two additional problems. 1) Many company firewalls block access to sites that contain swear words, so people can have their access blocked without even wanting to post or read swear words. 2) Access to scoobynet is free to all, so children are able to view them. Whilsts we realise there are countless sites that allow children to view swear words, I'm sure none of us want to assist that. In addition, common sense, once again, prevails. If you are using swear words to add genuine decent humour to something (and none of us are stupid.. most of us can tell the difference) it has a very different meaning to using swear words in order to offend, or discuss a negative subject. Attempting to bypass the swear word filter is both ridiculous and prohibited. In addition, please appreciate that using @ instead of a, or 1 instead of i, does not change the meaning of the word, or the way it is read. It is not the combination of characters that represents the offense, it is the use of the word within context. You're a moderator so act like one. |

Ok, so I'm a bit late in on this one and have only just read about it :D
I can see this two ways: 1) They are very very foolish and naive girls who had no clue that they were being duped the whole way. 2) They knew exactly what is going on and are simply pretending to be very very foolish and naive girls. Regardless of that fact, we all need to learn life lessons from time to time, and this is their time to learn a very hard lesson. There is a very good reason you are told "do not carry anything for anyone else" at airports and this is the prime example of why you do not want to do that. Empty laptop case, hmm, yeah, right, and they didn't think that it might have been a tiny bit heavy for an empty case? I would expect them to have been moaning "feckin ell sharon, this empty lappy case is fecking 'eavy, imaging how fecking 'eavy it'd be wif a fecking laptop in it" which should have given them some clue that something was not on the level. They lied about where they were going and what they were doing, I am pretty sure they knew exactly what was going on. They obviously have not read Ben Elton's "High Society", as it might have given them the clue they are so severely lacking. |
Stupid, stupid girls. 10 years in prison. Still, at least they'll have that 3 grand to look forward to when they get out. :rolleyes:

Sandra Gregory sprang to mind when I read it:rolleyes:
Shame they didn't get caught in this part of the world, the current government has just re-instated the death penalty for this sort of thing:thumb: |

You're a moderator so act like one. I apologise for bypassing the swear filter, laspe of concentration/reasoning on an busy day Please complain to the webmaster if you feel that i am out of order, maybe i am... |
On the subject in question, my opinion is that anyone breaking the law when abroad should expect to be dealt with according to the local legal system. That applies to any offence, not just one as serious as drug smuggling.
On the subject of "Put your toys back in your pram", I haven't thrown any, I am not the one resorting to name calling and abuse. My post #25 was in response to your edit opining that it is "sad" to expect mods to adhere to the rules they are there to administer. |
